Did you know that some of the artists you hear on K92.3 are locals? While they might not live here currently, at one point in their life, they called Central Florida their home.
Did you also know that two of those artists are having a homecoming at K92.3’s 30th “All Star Jam” on August 17th? That’s right, Michael Ray and Chad Brock are both taking our stage and both have ties to Central Florida! Oh and if you don’t have your “All Star Jam” tickets yet, click here.
